Behaviour and Training Problems
Our behaviour/training consultations are for anyone who has a particular problem with their dog's behaviour. Our approach is to help you understand just why your dog behaves the way he does and offer you practical advice to modify the behaviour.
The initial behaviour consultation is undertaken at your home where we will take a full history and structure a behaviour modification plan.
All members of the family are encouraged to take part in the behaviour consultation and to ask questions. We believe that there is no such things as a silly question!
The initial consultation will take approximately 1.5 hours – following this there will be telephone/zoom support and 2 follow up sessions of approximately 1 hour. The first follow up session usually takes place 2 weeks after the initial consult and we will discuss how the training is progressing and any further modifications needed. The third follow up session is to consolidate the training and discuss your on-going training needs. The follow up sessions are flexible in terms of location and can be done either at your home, out and about in the real world, or at our private field in Burn, Selby.
Additional follow up sessions can be booked, in order to continue the work, either at home or out in real life situations.
Examples of behaviour that can be addressed at a behaviour/training consultation are:-
Reactivity to other dogs or people
Separation Anxiety
Breed specific behaviours
Guarding food bowl, toys or "stolen" items!
Multi dog household issues
Poor recall
Fears and Phobias
Generalised Anxiety
Behaviour consultations are carried out by referral from your Veterinary Surgeon and we do work with many Veterinary Practices across Yorkshire.
